Description liono 2008-04-25 13:41:26 UTC
When writing a comment block the editor now automatically inserts a space behind the * no matter what. I think it would
be a welcome option if this was configurable. While it can make it easier to type a block of comments it becomes a
tedious feature if you have several blocks to fill out since its now a lot harder to close a comment block. Its much
easier to press space before you start typing (since you do this anyway) then it is to find backspace and then type /
when you're done.

Another argument is that this also makes setting up test cases harder. When I need to make sure that a certain block of
code does not have any bugs (or to re-assure that it does ;)) its often easy to put /* at the top and when I'm at the
last line of code I simply press enter + / after which the whole block is commented. This too is now harder to do with
the extra space attached.
